Hi, Just wondering if anyone else homeschooled their children. I did and now I have one at UNA and one at NWSCC. Since I am new to the forums, I don't know if this has ever been asked before.
Thanks for info.

I would not consider it for my children - I want them to have socialization skills that only come from school with a diverse population. They might as well learn to live in the real world from the very beginning. I know lots of homeschooled kids with lots of problems and unrealistic views of the world. I know the same from some of the Christian schools that have created an artificial world for their kids.

We homeschool. We have 2 boys, 15 yo, and 11 yo and a 3 yo girl. Wouldn't trade it for anything. I have taught in public schools for 7 years and wouldn't want that for my kids.

Yes, I would do it again. The pros are you teach what is valuable and not waste time with "busy work".

I am glad your kids did well but so did mine so please don't judge me unless you are willing to be judged as well.

You don't think my kids make friends with their professors or are not AROUND less fortunate kids? Do you mean that as money wise or disability wise??They did do well in elementary school, both were number three in class. Both were liked by teachers and had friends. Both were too intelligent to do crap homework that involved "MOM" running all over town for stupid projects that meant nothing and wasted money. Please do not assume you know how homeschool works when you have never been interested in trying it. I am glad your kids did well but so did mine so please don't judge me unless you are willing to be judged as well.

My daughter is 16 and attends public school. If I knew then what I know now, I would have pulled her out in the 7th grade and finished her education up here at the house.
